A HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY, NC, Rev. Jethro Rumple, 1888; reprinted Regional
Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD 1978, pg 178, "Washington's visit to Salisbury";
"As the cavalcade was approaching Salisbury a little incident occurred of
pleasing character.  Richard Brandon, Esq., then lived six miles southwest of
Salisbury, at the place known by our older citizens as THE STOCKTON PLACE, now
owned by C. H. McKenzie, Esq.  The old building stood, till a few years ago, on
the west side of the road, near a little meadow, about halfway between St.
Mary's Church and Mr. McKenzie's present residence."
